Solstice Season recommended Reading

I love fetishists. Not only do they come in all shapes and sizes, but when they talk about their fetish, they just light up, whether in person or on the page. This book is no exception. Michael Moran lusts to tickle and be tickled. Tickling carries an explosive sexual (not just sensual) charge for him. This book goes into fine detail introducing erotic tickling as a fetish and preparing the reader for any level of experimentation desired, with in-depth instructions, lists of accessories, and even resources. It includes potential problems, solutions, profiles and scenarios and even gives you ideas for finding an erotic tickling partner! My mind was definitely turning as I read, thinking of which of my playmates I could corner, tie up and tickle. A very fun read! (2003)

Boycott Intel

The Intel plant at"Oiryat Gat" is built on land Israel confiscated from the Palestinian villages of Iraq al Manshiya. Iraq al Manshiya was a village of 2000 people living in 300 houses with two mosques and one school. The original Palestinian inhabitants were terrorised out of the village and then the whole village was razed to the ground to prepare the way for the new israeli settlement of Qiryat Gat. Today the remaining population from Iraq al Manshiya is still not allowed to return.. Legal action against Intel for building on looted land is being considered.

The Quiet of Destruction and Death

It’s a late morning start today…as I’m waiting for Abu Talat, who calls to tell me he is snarled in traffic and will be late once again, huge explosions shake my hotel. Shortly thereafter mortars are exploding in the “green zone” as the loud warning sirens there begin to blare across Baghdad.

Automatic weapon fire cracks down the street.

The good news is that interim prime minister Ayad Allawi has announced a shortening of the curfew that most of Iraq is under. So now rather than having to be off the streets by 10:30pm, we can stay out until 11pm before we are shot on sight.

This past Sunday a small Iraqi Red Crescent aid convoy was allowed into Fallujah at 4:30pm. I interviewed a member of the convoy today. Speaking on condition of anonymity, (so I’ll call her Suthir), the first thing she said to me was, “I need another heart and eyes to bear it because my own are not enough to bear what I saw. Nothing justifies what was done to this city. I didn’t see a house or mosque that wasn’t destroyed.”
